Frequently Asked Questions
About Vanaz Engineers
Vanaz Engineers Limited is one of India's oldest and most established engineering companies, incorporated on 17 January 1949 under CIN U29299PN1949PLC006866. Headquartered at 85/1 Paud Road, Pune — 411038, the company has over 75 years of manufacturing heritage in precision engineering. Vanaz Engineers is a specialist manufacturer of gas control equipment, pressure management systems, and auto components. The company's product portfolio includes forging products, pressure reducing systems and gas trains, vanfog systems, cylinder valves, CNG and LPG kits for vehicle conversion, auto components, die casting products, and pressure and flow control devices. The CNG and LPG kit segment is particularly strategic. Vanaz Engineers manufactures conversion kits that enable vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as alternative fuels. As India pushes aggressively for cleaner fuels under its National CNG Policy, this segment has strong structural tailwinds. India's CNG vehicle fleet has grown significantly over the past decade, driven by government mandates and the economics of CNG versus petrol and diesel. Financially, Vanaz Engineers has demonstrated strong performance. Revenue for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 was approximately ₹372 Crore, reflecting a 1-year CAGR of 15%. EBITDA also grew 13.66% year-on-year, indicating improving operating leverage. Book networth increased by 22.25%, confirming profitability and value accretion to shareholders. The company has an authorized share capital of ₹4 Crore and paid-up capital of approximately ₹2.09 Crore. The relatively small capital base relative to ₹372 Crore revenue indicates high asset turnover and capital efficiency. The Board comprises four directors including Milind Sambhaji Khandekar and Nitin Vyankatesh Kulkarni. The last AGM was held on 28 September 2024, confirming active governance. Pune's engineering cluster provides Vanaz with access to skilled engineering talent, supply chain partners, and proximity to major automotive OEMs. India's push for clean mobility under the National Hydrogen Mission and CNG expansion creates a sustained demand environment for Vanaz's core product categories.
